In this episode, Jon and Leigh chat with Dr. Vaughn, assistant director of the Dragon Con Science Track. Vaughn literally wrote his PhD dissertation on Dragon Con.

Vaughn offers a deep look into how science has become such an accessible and joyful part of the Dragon Con experience. With panels covering topics such as Science vs. Movies, microbiology, space travel, and why your cheese addiction might be science-approved, if you’re headed to Dragon Con 2025, the Science Track might just be your missing ingredient.

Here’s the transcript if you are into that kind of thing.

Sue from the Science Fiction Literature Track joins Leigh and Jon to unpack the universe of panels, authors, and literary geekery headed to Dragon Con 2025. This year’s spotlight is on military science fiction, but that’s just a launchpad into a multiverse of storytelling styles—from hard science to space fantasy.

We dive into the world of cross-media series like The Expanse, unpack the rise of self-published success stories like Dungeon Crawler Carl, and get a preview of who’s coming to town (spoiler alert: Kevin J. Anderson fans, rejoice). Sue also shares how the track balances genre crossover, author Q&As, and trivia games.

Whether you are Team Kindle, Team Audiobook, or ride-or-die for paperbacks be sure to check out the Sci-Fi Lit Track during your Dragon Con journey.

Zero track crimes were committed in the making of this podcast. Probably.
